The NZ Coalition to End Loneliness is running a ‘Light up loneliness’ campaign this month to raise awareness and encourage action on loneliness across Aotearoa.
The New Zealand Coalition to End Loneliness is a growing group of non-profit organisations, businesses and researchers working together to end loneliness for individuals, in communities, and at workplaces in New Zealand.
They are now calling on Local Government to help them “Light up loneliness”.
“Imagine if every Mayor and Council across New Zealand helped promote the “Lets End Loneliness” website and made tackling loneliness a priority, using their own local community resources,” says Stephanie Clare, Age Concern New Zealand Chief Executive.
“It would be a gamechanger. Taking this issue out of the shadows, reducing the stigma and shame, and giving it light is the aim of the campaign” she says.
Social connection is a key factor for healthy, prosperous people, communities, and workplaces, but loneliness in New Zealand is increasing. In the March 2021 quarter 18.4% of New Zealanders felt lonely most, all or some of the time, up from 16.6% in 2018, and 13.9% in 2014.
“Many of us have experienced loneliness at some time in our lives and we know that feels horrible, but it can be addressed and solved. Together we can end loneliness for New Zealanders who feel isolated” says Sam Johnson, Founder and Chief Executive of Student Volunteer Army.
The letsendloneliness.co.nz website provides information on tackling loneliness and where to get help, as well as up-to-date news and research.
“The website is designed as a source of information which also links people to support services. We challenge every Local Council in New Zealand to create a link on their own websites to letsendloneliness.co.nz” says Sam Johnson.
The recent COVID-19 lockdown highlights that everyone can feel isolated and lonely. Catherine Hall, Chief Executive of Alzheimers New Zealand believes everyone should feel safe, supported, loved, and connected.
“Sadly, people often find family, whānau and friends take a step back just when they need them most. We stand alongside our coalition partners and with all New Zealanders, to make sure no one feels alone.”
Help light up loneliness! The campaign is not just for councils. Anyone can create a link to the letsendloneliness.co.nz or post a mention through social media channels to support the ‘Light up loneliness’ campaign.
Together we can end loneliness, one person, one community, one workplace at a time.

I've been retired now for 3 going on 4 years and was a consultant in my working life but I tried a sideline of having a jewelry website on the side. As soon as I retired had an unexpected heart attack and since then the health has not been all that good with one thing and another. We downsized and moved into St Clair Village. I found some stock still that was left over when I shut the website down around 3 years ago. It's good stock ranging from Mens and Ladies Watches to general jewelry. I will attach a pdf with a picture, the number available, and what I was selling at a retail cost (this can be changed to suit your style of selling). I would like to sell the whole portfolio to a "good home" - not a shark but somebody that would be fair to it's clients like I have been. Remember what you put out is what you get in return as the saying goes. Anyway I hope somebody would take up the offer or know of somebody that would. The approx retail in total is about $19,000. I would only like about $1250 ono for the whole lot. If you are interested could you please message me or text me on 0274 456 024. I would really appreciate your help. It's just sitting in our garage. Anyway have a look at the stock and let me know your thoughts. I'm not a person of greed and hopefully it would all go to a like-minded person. Please have a look at the PDF file for details. Thanks for your time

Thanks to all your generous donation, we'd love to gather in thanksgiving and cut the ribbon on our new practice car once we get the green light.
PCDS is turning 4 this December so we'd like to share FANTASTIC 4 community stories on the importance of getting driver licence. Here are the feedback from four learners who chose Puketapapa Community Driving School - knowing that our social enterprise mission is to use the income from fully-paid driving lessons to give subsidised lessons for former refugees especially single mothers facing multiple barriers to getting licence.
Serene: I was able to help my mum during lockdown. My mum is a health worker and she can’t take bus all the time. So it was my duty to drop her to work. Now I can drive alone buy some groceries and stuff. This is a little bit help for my family. Driving was my first step to help my family. Without the driving licence I was dependent on my family. Now I can help them to go anywhere and buy some stuff.
Nina: I’ve been able to help my family more like getting groceries, dropping off my brother and picking up from school. From a personal perspective it has given me a lot of confidence. As a young person, whenever you are with your friends, there is a stigma of you still having your learner’s. I chose to enrol at PCDS as I always thought the social enterprise side of the business is amazing. The buy one and give one for someone with refugee background and struggling to afford a driving lesson was really cool. I really like the fulfilment it gave me that my money would be going towards someone in need and potentially make a difference in their lives.
Jojo: Getting a licence is very helpful while I’m studying in Uni and working. In NZ the public transport is not as good with other countries. Especially for the buses you have to wait, unlike other countries its frequent. Driver licence here is a must.
Cristine: Before I just ride a bus. Sometimes the bus would take a while so it was hard for me especially going home late. Now I’m working as a support worker. I drive a lot going to my clients’ homes. Excellent cause, you are really helping the migrants and refugees to learn to drive.
THANK YOU AGAIN to our champion supporters, and to each and everyone who pitched in to help us get new practice car so we can have more community success stories in 2022!
